Its more advances features include the ability to straighten a warped image, darken an overexposed portion of a photograph while leaving the rest of the photo unchanged, and even moving an upraised arm and placing at the subject’s side.
There was a time when photographs with blemishes would have to be discarded. A finger partially over the lens would ruin a shot. Now, with Photoshop , most errors can be corrected. Modifications range from simple ones, like enhancing the contrast or removing “red-eye”, to more intricate ones like removing the errant fingerprint and replacing it with background or another object. A set of tutorial videos are available to teach you these techniques in only two hours.
